One Journal Square | Woods Bagot

Through the creation of public plazas, lively retail, and an iconic architectural language, the mixed-use mega project will bring new life to the area around the Jersey City PATH station, a major transit hub.  Construction is estimated to begin in mid-spring 2021 and complete in fall of 2025.

The two million square-foot development consists of two soaring towers on a shared podium. The towers, hosting almost 1,723 residential units ranging from studios to three-bedrooms, pivot around a corner axis to create a dynamic form in response to the oblique road network.  Sleekly clad in glass and steel, the towers express a slender verticality while a series of stepped volumes gracefully transitions the towers to the scale of the surrounding context. The ten-story podium, surrounded by lush public plaza, offers retail, parking, and amenities, and will embed 1 Journal Square into the neighborhood. 

In addition to spectacular views from the upper floors, residents will enjoy a generous range of amenities including full size basketball court, pool, roof terrace offering dog run, party area, kids’ play area, and BBQ/outdoor dining zone.  with views for miles.
